Decisions

Decisions	Activity	Task	Partner
E.g.: using labaoratory data as examples of real-life usage for the end-user to check if the outpus correspond to the expectations	Validate the product specification	Use the product in real-life situation	UNINOVA
The printed prototypes will be tested in accordance with the functioning definition. In this sense, small specimens are evaluated for material charcateriation, and specific tests should be defined for functional validation (e.g. weigth to be supported, fatigue analysis,	Validate the product specification	Validate the successful functioning of the product	AIMEN
The result of the processing (of the usage data) is used by the specialist to verify that the knowledge data outputed to the end-user is correct and adequate	Validate the product specification	Validate the successful functioning of the product	UNINOVA
If the hardware supports multiple configuration options the user chooses his preferences. E.g.: different led colors	Define the mass-customization process	Configure the product or part of the product pre-purchase	UNINOVA
If the device supports multiple configuration options, in terms of hardware and software, the user chooses his preferences. E.g.: upgrading the hardware/software functions if the device supports this modularity.	Define the mass-customization process	Customize a part of the product after purchase	UNINOVA
